Andrew Thornton, who has previously contributed to the Voices website, has recently published a new book, South Staffords at War: August 1914-December 1915.

The book is part of a planned series, on the experiences and lives of soldiers who served in the South Staffordshire Regiment during the Great War. It contains news reports and letters drawn from local newspapers, as well as biographies of 300 members of the regiment from all ranks and social backgrounds. Transcriptions of two diaries are also included, one of which has not been published before. Volume 2, which will also cover 1914-15, is in preparation and will be released in June.

The book is available for purchase here.
